The March Madness Playbook with Final Four Coaches: Geno Auriemma, Dan Hurley & Dawn Staley

This weekend, you're watching the best teams in the country compete. But what you're really watching is how elite coaches handle pressure. In this special March Madness episode, I'm bringing together some of the most powerful moments from my conversations with three of the game's best—Geno Auriemma, Dan Hurley, and Dawn Staley—who have combined for 17 national championships and are all coaching in the Final Four. We talk about what it really takes to win when it matters most: how they build accountability, create buy-in, and lead teams that don't break under pressure. From recruiting and culture to discipline and daily standards, this is a behind-the-scenes look at how championship programs are built. If you want to understand what actually separates good teams from champions, this is it.
